Zoom To Selection?

Hi All, A quick question about the interface that I can not figure out. I am looking at a full length wave file, zoomed way out. I select a small part of it. What key combination do I press to zoom the selection to full view? Kind of like the opposite of SHIFT-F. Thank for your time!

    Hold down the "Z" key and drag a selction, then let go of Z and SONAR will zoom to your selection.

    CTRL+ALT+H is "Show and Fit Selection."

    Nice tips. Are the keystrokes to return to the previous zoom level?

    You can undo a view change by typing ALT+Z.  CTRL+ALT+Z will redo view change.

    Speaking of "Zoom to selection" using Z key, in X1 while making the selection, there was no visual feedback on the selected region - the part of the clip for instance was not visually highlighted.

    Has this issue been fixed in X2? Is the selection area highlighted while selected?

    Thanks.

    Best Regards,  
    Marek

    Another little trick: you can "roll" across your mouse buttons to undo/redo view changes.  To do this, hold down the right mouse button and then push the left (or vice versa).

    Visual feedback with the zoom tool appears to be functional, in my tests.
